• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Oh Hell this is going to get expensive!!!

This YouTube came up on my computer without being asked for. This car boot sale for tools is I’m sorry to say gentleman in America, it goes on and on with some of the strangest things I’ve ever seen and lots of things that are totally desirable and it’s not very far away!
As I said this is going to get expensive but hopefully not too addictive.
And to think I’ve just ordered a set of new chisels, oh dear, silly me. Ian

If you see a hand cranked grain mill with stones and it is cheap. get it for me pretty please
 
look up "wondermill deluxe jnr" they are around 14lbs. not been able to get one in europe for about 2 yrs that wasn't a stupid amount of money. I'll pm my contact details so if you do come across one and are happy to bring it back you can let me know. It is to make flour and as i am now on a wholefood diet type thing might as well grind my own as I need to make the bread from scratch to calculate what's in it :|
 
Hi Cabinetman.

My first 'set' of chisels came as a wedding present from my wife in 1962.

Four Marples chisels, 1", 3/4" , 1/2" and 1/4". They have the plain boxwood handles, and are still going strong. They're not much shorter mind as domestic problems got in the way around 20 years ago and woodwork was curtailed.

However, the steel is fine, and they take and hold a good edge; another reason they haven't suffered excessive sharpening. I've added to them over the years, and I normally go to eBay for chisels. Preferably Pre-WWII Marples.

I have found Narex to be satisfactory too, and I bought a set from Matthew about 10 years ago. I like them, and eventually got used to the handles! So I am pretty well-off for chisels!

Hope that helps, although, I agree it all gets expensive. :lol:

PS. Just realised this has nothing to do with a grain-mill. Sorry folks; a Senior Moment!


Cheers,
John
